After school, in the afternoon, Wen Xinya gave Grampy a call, informing him that she had something on at night and couldn’t go over for practice. After all, Madam Jiang had caused a scene in the Institute; she had to inform Grandpa.

The chauffeur, Tao, came to pick her. After boarding the car, Wen Xinya said, “Uncle Tao, head right back to the Wen Mansion.”

Tao was slightly stunned and instinctively said, “Miss, I’d previously heard from my father by chance that Master and Second Madam went to the Wen Mansion. You…”

Master hated Miss—it was not a secret in the Wen Family.

Wen Xinya thought about it and knew that Wen Haowen must have come back for the matter regarding the Jiang Family. She smiled plainly and said, “It has also been a long time since I last saw Father. I kinda miss him.”

Tao did not say anything else. He started the car and drove towards the Wen Mansion.

Back at the Wen Mansion, Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian were chatting in the living room. Grandpa was not around.

Upon seeing Wen Xinya, Wen Haowen’s face darkened drastically. “You ungrateful child, get over here!”

“Father, what happened?” Wen Xinya hunched and walked towards Wen Haowen instinctively, her childish little face pale and her body slightly trembling.

Seeing how Wen Xinya was flinching, a sense of pleasure flashed past Ning Shuqian’s eyes. She was just thinking of how to deal with his little b*tch for offending the Jiang Family on her own, giving her a chance to strike. “Xinya, we heard that things were very ugly between you and Miss Jiang Ruoyin of the Jiang Family—is it true?”

“Aunt Ning, listen to my explanation…” Wen Xinya looked at Ning Shuqian, eager to explain.

However, how could Ning Shuqian possibly give her the chance to explain—her gaze turned icy cold. “Today, Madam Jiang especially went to the Institute to mediate with you. Did you reject it?”

Biting on her lips, Wen Xinya looked at Wen Haowen, her eyes glowing with panic. “Father, that’s because…”

Angered, Wen Haowen slapped the tea table, stared at Wen Xinya with ferocious eyes, and said, “B*tch, do you know that the Jiang Family suddenly canceled all collaboration with the Wen Family today, causing a huge monetary loss to the Wen Family!”

Wen Xinya’s eyes glimmered with a wronged and sad glow as she sobbed. “Father, listen to my explanation…”

Ning Shuqian interrupted her coldly. “Xinya, I don’t mean to say you did wrong, but the unhappiness between you and Miss Jiang should have been settled by clearing the air between the two of you and let bygones be bygones. Why make Madam Jiang step in personally—Madam Jiang is after all a senior, but instead of giving her the least bit of face, you hit Miss Jiang in front of her. We, the Wen Family, had business dealings with the Jiang Family all along. As the eldest daughter of the Wen Family, you should put the interests of the Wen Family first in all your doings. How can you, in a moment of anger, offend the Jiang Family to such a state?”

Wen Xinya couldn’t defend herself.

Wen Haowen had already been fuming, and upon hearing Ning Shuqian’s words, he became even more enraged. “I don’t care why you had a conflict with Miss Jiang. Come with me to the Jiang Family now and apologize to Madam Jiang and Miss Jiang.”

Hearing this, Wen Xinya felt a shock through her body, shook her head, and stepped back subconsciously. “Father, I don’t want to. Jiang Ruoyin stated misrepresenting posts on the discussion forums of the Institute and framed me, breaching the rules of the Institute on her own. On what grounds should I apologize to her—she obviously tried to harm me first.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Shuqian looked at Wen Xinya calmly and said, “Despite Jiang Ruoyin’s wrongdoings, why did you not give the least bit of face to Madam Jiang when she came up to you personally to apologize? Are you purposely causing trouble for your Father by thwarting the collaboration plans between the Wen Family and the Jiang Family?”

“I didn’t. What good does thwarting the collaboration plans between the Wen Family and the Jiang Family do to me—why would I do this?” explained Wen Xinya as she hurriedly shook her head.

However, Ning Shuqian smiled coldly and said, “I’m afraid that because you led a wandering life for fifteen years, you know nothing about business and became a burden to your Father. I heard that you’re also on bad terms with the most beloved daughter of Mr. Jiang of the Zhang 1 Family, Jiang Yuqian. Xinya, I don’t mean to say you did wrong, but the Zhang Family has great influence in politics and Mr. Jiang is also currently high on the ranks. To offend the Zhang Family like this doesn’t do any good to the Wen Family. Your Father fights hard in the company to earn money for you to spend freely. If you can’t share the burden with your Father, at least you shouldn’t be a burden to him.”

After hearing this, Wen Haowen’s eyes were bright red as he stared at Wen Xinya, wanting to swallow her alive. Indeed, she was a child who grew up outside—she actually did not even understand mutual interests as such in the circle. “Go, go to the Jiang Family and apologize. Otherwise, leave the Wen Family.”

Hearing this, Ning Shuqian’s eyes glimmered with satisfaction. B*tch who thought that by driving Wen Yuya out of the Wen Family and sending her abroad, she could have no worries—she wanted to make her life difficult.

Wen Xinya looked at Wen Haowen, stunned, as if she did not expect him to actually say things like this. “Father, I’ve done no wrong. Miss Jiang harmed me and Madam Jiang threatened me. I’m the eldest daughter and the successor of the Wen Family, how can I allow others to freely manipulate and control me and not retaliate—wouldn’t this tarnish the Wen Family’s reputation and throw the Wen Family’s face for no reason?”

After hearing this, Ning Shuqian said solemnly, “Xinya, I know that you’d previously led a wandering life for fifteen years, lived on the streets all along, and may deal with things in a manner that carries your original temper and rashness while living on the streets. However, you’re now the eldest daughter of the Wen Family, and should always think twice before you act. It’s a small thing to throw the Wen Family’s face, but it’s a huge mistake to offend someone.”

Her sincere words merely meant that she had offended Jiang Ruoyin, causing Jiang Ruoyin to harm her like this. Wen Xinya was momentarily lost for words to defend herself.

Wen Haowen expression darkened and said, “I’ve already told the Jiang Family that I’ll bring you to apologize to Miss Jiang, and will not take no for an answer.”

Ning Shuqian said, “Oh, Xinya! I know it’s hard on you to apologize to Miss Jiang, but you can’t be so selfish—you’ve to think for your Father, for the Wen Family.”

Wen Xinya stared at Wen Haowen in disbelief and said, “Father, are you really my father?”

Wen Haowen smiled coldly and said, “Don’t address me so intimately. You’re so selfish and conceited—I don’t have such an ungrateful daughter like you!”

Wen Xinya suddenly stretched her hand out and wiped the tears off the edge of her eyes. “Father, Grandpa was the one who fetched me back. Before Grandpa drives me out, I’ll never leave the Wen Family.”

Wen Haowen was furious, but Ning Shuqian’s expression changed as she said, “You’re not using your Grandpa’s support for you to suppress your Father with your Grandpa, are you!”

This statement triggered Wen Haowen’s sensitive spot. He suddenly fumed and slapped Wen Xinya ruthlessly. “Ungrateful child, you think that just because you have the support of your Grandpa, I don’t dare to do anything to you? I’m your father, I can do anything I want to you!”

Wen Xinya only felt a gust of wind coming at her before an air-shattering force landed on her face instantly. Wen Xinya felt a wobble in her legs, tripped, and crashed her body towards the ground, causing her forehead to hit the sharp corner of the tea table. With a concussion in her brain, a dull pain spread bit by bit, and suddenly, fresh blood spilled all over…
